CHURCH HILL, Tenn. (WJHL) — Sydney Allen is in her second year as an English/Language Arts teacher at Church Hill Middle School, but her experience at the school goes back much further.

"I went to Church Hill Intermediate School," Allen recalled. "Sherry Price was principal at that time over there, and it's been so awesome to come back here and teach alongside some of my former teachers."

Church Hill Middle School and Intermediate School merged recently to form one Church Hill Middle School. Price now presides as principal and remembers teaching a young Allen.

"I actually had her in 4th grade at Church Hill Elementary, and she was a wonderful student then," Price said.

Each day, Allen instructs about 100 7th-grade students. Teaching is the only career she has ever dreamed of having.
